Day 3 update
Its running and i drove it home
Pic of the bay
Few things i not happy about
Position of throttle and clutch cables,going to re-route them so they look tidier.
The mk1 gti fuel lines was'nt long enough to tuck them away so they have to stay til i get some made or if i find the PL 16v lines.
I wired it up using the mk1 gti loom then added in the KR ECU loom which i shortened. The ecu is now neatly tucked in the rain tray and attached to the TCI unit, just how i did in my caddy.
Because i was'nt running the full KR loom, i could'nt use the ISV set up for controling the idling.
I used the AAV from the old gti engine which i chopped its mounting bracket off and filed down so it was just a neat cylinder.
After priming the pump so the fueling was under pressure, turned key fully and she started first time, Result.
Would'nt idle at all though then i realised i forgotten to connect the vacuum pipe to ecu
, Yes i was in a rush to get her done.
Once sorted, she idled brill with just a little adjustment with the Idle screw on the TB.
Set my gear linkage up which work perfect first time then went for a spin(literally).
Its twice the car it was before. Goes, stops and sounds great.
16v Conversion, Brake upgrade and stainless system done in 3 days. Get in there
